Chapter Fifty-two: Clamor

  "How come they still haven't come out yet?!"

  Zi Hua held a wooden sword and pretended to spar with Zi Qi in the courtyard, occasionally glancing towards the main hall.

  Zi Qi wore a bright pearl flower on her head, and her earrings were also changed to colorful pearls, which set off her fair skin and beautiful face like a delicate flower.

  At this moment, she deliberately turned her back on the main hall door and compared notes with Zi Hua, holding a wooden sword, waiting for Mu Junwu to come out.

  At this time, Linlin was passing by from a side path with a bowl of dessert in her hand. Zi Hua immediately waved at Linlin: "Linlin, come over!"

  Linlin looked at the main hall with difficulty and moved over: "I have to send some snacks in, is there anything?"

  "You wait down at the entrance and watch for them to come out, then make a gesture to remind me."

  Ling Ling blinked her eyes and pretended to be silly: "Why remind you? Are you going in?"

  "Mind your own business! Scram!"

  Ling Ling carried a few dim sum and walked towards the main hall. Just as she reached the door, Tang Jiu'er surprisingly came out with Tang He Zhi and Mu Junwu.

  The child saw the situation and hurriedly held a wooden sword, frowning and winking at Zi Qi.

  Zi Qi's mind was leading the divine meeting, and after a series of three moves in a row with Zi Hua, she lifted one foot and kicked him out.

  "Zi Qi Shijie, you're getting more and more formidable!" Zi Hua exclaimed with a flattering expression as he fell to the ground. Zi Qi smiled complacently and flipped her hair: "Really?"

  A sly smile, beautiful eyes looking sideways, you seem to be unintentionally glancing at me, I'd like to have an "unintentional" exchange of gazes with you.

  But...

  Admiring you, I lowered my head, stretched out my hand to smooth my clothes, and didn't even glance at her...

  Zi Qi's face suddenly showed a hint of loss.

  "Watch out, sister!"

  Zi Hua sat on the ground and saw his sister's "chance encounter" fail, immediately shouting loudly, throwing three stones at Zi Qi.

  Zi Qi heard this and turned his head, raising his hand to strike the stone. The stone met the wooden sword and changed direction, with one of them flying straight towards Mu Junwu.

  Zi Qi saw the situation and immediately flew over to Mu Junwu, doing his best to stop and rescue him.

  At this moment, Mu Jun could have raised his hand to slap the flying stone, and he would also have hugged the pouncing Zi Qi, but he didn't do so. Instead, he took two steps back.

  Then, Shi Zi brushed past from the side, while Zi Qi, who had flown over, landed heavily on the ground.

  Tang Jiuer furrowed her brow, Linlin lowered her head and smiled secretly with pursed lips, while Zi Hua was so surprised that his mouth was agape.

  Embarrassing!

  Embarrassing!

  At this moment, Ziqi was furious, but she could only endure it and quickly got up, rushing towards Mu Junwu with a concerned smile: "Are you okay?"

  Admiring you, I take a glance at her, slightly shaking my head, without making a sound.

  "Alright!" Tang Jiuer called out in a low voice: "Everyone come over, I have something to say."

  Zi Qi, Zi Hua, and Lin Lin immediately stood up in a row upon hearing the words. When Zi Qi and Zi Hua stood together, Zi Qi gave Zi Hua a stern look, while Zi Hua lowered her head with a cautious expression.

  Tang Jiuer turned her head towards the west wing: "Hua Rou!"

  The west wing door opened and Hua Rou walked out, her head lowered, trying to conceal the pain in her body, but her twisted posture silently betrayed her.

  Mo Jun's gaze fell on Hua Rou's body, although his face was still expressionless, he didn't move his eyes away.

  "Let me introduce, this is Mu Junwu from the government house. Due to cooperation matters between the two houses, he will be coming to our poison house frequently over the next few days. You don't need to be alarmed, and if he has any inquiries about poisons, you can answer him based on what you know."

  Tang Jiuer finished speaking and glanced at Murong Junwu, who still had his eyes on Hua Rou's lowered head. He took a step forward and said, "I'm Murong Junwu, sorry to disturb you all."

  "My name is Zihua." Zihua said, bumping into Ziqi.

  "My name is... " Zi Qi saw Mu Junwu's eyes still on Hua Rou, and a displeased expression suddenly appeared on her face, saying listlessly: "Zi Qi."

  "My name is Linlin."

  Huā Róu still lowered her head: "Huā Róu."

  I bowed my head to Tang Jiu'er: "Thank you, Poison Master. I'll take my leave for now and come back tomorrow to bother you again."

  "Here you go!"

  Tang He Zhi and Mu Jun, we should leave immediately. Linlin welcomes people to come in and naturally wants to see them off, but as soon as she takes a step, she is blocked by Zi Hua.

  Zi Hua gave Zi Qi a look, and although Zi Qi's face was stern, she immediately stepped forward to see him off.

  Hua Rou stood there from start to finish with her head hung low, like a wooden stake.

  Tang Jiuer glanced at Hua Rou and turned back to the main hall with a cold expression.

  Zi Hua looked at Tang Jiu'er leaving and walked to the front of Hua Rou, saying in a low voice: "Hey! I heard you came with Mu Junwu, are you very familiar?"

  Hua Rou lifted her head, her eyes red and swollen as she glanced at Zi Hua before turning around and moving towards her own western wing.

  "Hey! You're sweeping the courtyard tomorrow, don't forget!"

  After finishing speaking, she went to the gate of the hospital and anxiously looked out for her sister's situation.

  Zi Qi sent the two to the gate of the Poison House, Tang He led the way out, and Mu Junwu passed by her side, she smiled and greeted him: "Mu Shixiong, see you tomorrow!"

  You walked past her with no reaction at all, completely ignoring her, making Zi Qi's face suddenly extremely embarrassed.

  Zi Qi slammed the courtyard door shut with a flick of her sleeve, and when she turned around, she saw Zi Hua standing not far away, stretching his neck.

  Zi Qi stared at her: "Are you satisfied?"

  "Sister, why are you talking like that? I'm trying to help you. Who knew the beauty would throw herself at him and he'd actually back away..."

  "Slap!" Suddenly, a palm hit Zi Hua's face. Zi Hua stared at Zi Qi in shock, just about to speak when Zi Qi fiercely retorted: "Are you still not satisfied with how embarrassing I am?"

  Zi Qi flung her sleeve and rushed into the house, while Zi Hua covered her face, full of grievances that she couldn't express.

  "When others talk to you, you ignore them, this is very impolite and not the behavior of a gentleman."

  Tang He's soft voice sympathized with Mu Jun, but he wasn't taking pity on Xiangxi or seeking justice for her. It was just that seeing Zi Qi's embarrassment reminded him of how Mu Jun had humiliated him in the past, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of solidarity.

  Admiring you, I glanced at him sideways: "There is only noise, no one has spoken."

  Tang He's mouth twitched slightly as he watched Mu Junwu stride away with big steps.

  You little stinker, if you weren't a genius, I... I would have killed you with my own hands...

  ……

  Although Hua Rou's butt hurts, she still gets up early in the morning to sweep the courtyard.

  She was sweeping with a big smile on her face when suddenly a figure fell from the sky and landed beside her, startling her so much that she was about to scream when a hand covered her mouth.

  Tang Xiao!

  Hua Rou looked at those thick eyebrows and big eyes in surprise, wondering how he ended up in the poison room so early in the morning, and in such a manner.

  Tang Xiao made a gentle gesture with her hand and let go.

  "How are you..."

  "Secret." Tang Xiao said, looking around: "Remember, you didn't see me."

  He finished speaking and stepped inside, but took a step back and returned to Hua Rou's side: "Why did you disobey the master's orders and get punished yesterday?"

  "The materials are not complete."

  Tang Xiao tilted his head in surprise: "You're not..."

  "Anyway, Master received the materials, but they didn't include the stone ears I collected with great difficulty two days ago."

  Tang Xiao's eyebrows furrowed, and he said in a displeased tone: "In this world, there are good people, but also bad ones. You should be more discerning in the future! It can't always be that others take advantage of you twice, thrice..."

  "I won't be fooled again!" Hua Rou clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, saying "From now on, I'll definitely be more careful and guard against it."

  Tang Xiao nodded and took out a bottle of medicine from his bosom and handed it to Hua Rou: "For reducing swelling and relieving pain."

  "Thank you." Huā Róu took the porcelain bottle and watched as Táng Xiāo walked into the depths of the courtyard, a warm smile spreading across her face.

  If all the bad people in this world are darkness, then good people like Tang Xiao are sunshine.
